Lyrics
Verse 1:
The sound of the highway from this old hotel room
Keeps my mind from thinking Of the things I should’ve done
I keep the window open To hear the sounds of travelin’
I dream the wheels are going Where the highway meets the sun
Verse 2:
It’s not that I’m running, I just keep myself a’ movin’
I’m the wanderlusting cowboy From an old-time country song
But when the nights are lonely and I’m sleepless in this bed
I got 18 wheels stirrin’ all the things I should have said
Chorus:
All the little words Like I will always --- love you
Or that I forgive even though you broke my heart
Just the little words. Like I will always be sorry
For saying all those little words. That were better left unsaid
Bridge:
All the things I didn’t say
Have left me feeling this ol’ way
And now you’re long gone
And I’m out here on the road
But you’re not alone
At least that’s what I’m told
Verse 3:
I drove Knoxville down to Athens, from Muscle Shoals to Nashville,
Fulton down to Memphis On highway 51
But here there’s no lonesome---whistle that’s a’ sounding
There’s no map to follow, just drive ‘till the drivin’s done
Chorus:
All the little words Like I will always---love you
Or that I forgive even though you broke my heart
Just the little words. Like I will always be sorry
For saying all those little words. That were better left unsaid
For saying all those little words. That were better…left…unsaid
